Re: New Dac

Up to about £800 is the budget but I will be happy to spend less.

New Dac

I have had a Rega dac for a few years now since getting rid of my Naim cd player. It is the original Rega and I am pretty happy with the way it sounds. I do think it tends to get a bit lets say confused on complex busy music and maybe it's rendition of finner detail cymbal and hihat work for instanc...

Re: NVA. Cube2

Hopefully the dimensions being cube like and the driver configuration will be enough to keep the original Cube 1 sound . I wish you all the best with the launch when it happens. Hopefully I get a chance to hear them sometime.

Re: NVA. Cube2

Was toying with the idea of making up a spacer piece to sit on top of my subs to place the Cubes on and have them at the height they currently are on their own stands. Think I might prefer having them as they are though. Being independent of each other gives more options in placement of the Cubes. A...

Re: NVA. Cube2

I also have my subwoofers sitting on the floor just inside each speaker. The overall sound is breathtakingly real for a speaker system. Subwoofers with Cubes is highly recommended and were so easy to integrate. Didn't have any problems that the people with point and squirt speakers seem to have with...

Re: NVA. Cube2

Maybe depending on how far you have the speakers from the front wall. Angling the speakers slightly gives a different reflection angle thus a different sound. I have found the cubes a speaker that changes it's presentation with the slightest of position change. At the moment mine are dead level abou...

Re: Tekton Speakers

The American youtube guys seem to really like them. I trust Steve Guttenberg's opinion on most things and he has a lot of love for Tekton. They have been around for a while. As usual it will depend on how they do in your room with your equipment. I'm not sure of a uk distributer though. Shipping wil...

Re: Subversive

Thank you everyone for the kind words. Never thought this was coming. It all started from waking one morning with no movement in my right hand. After a bit I decided to go to my local A&E who dismissed me without so much as a check of my blood pressure. 4 weeks later I felt really poorly and cou...

Re: Subversive

I understand parallel and series very well Paul. I can assure you they are in parallel. Again I must explain these subwoofer inputs have been designed to be connected to power amplifier outputs and therefore I have to trust their design. In fact it is REL and BK's preferred option. If there is a pro...
